Supposedly, I can even buy things and arrange to have them shipped to my door.
Maybe that would work for finding 20 ga shells??? I don't know though, seems complicated.

A Remington 1100 20 is the softest shooting 20 I have shot, the berretta 391 second in line
To hell with an 11-87

Out of the B guns it is the softest shooting one. Its one of the finest waterfowl shotguns available for a small man or woman. I know several guys who bought them for their wives. Look for a used one, can't buy new.
They range from $450-$800 depending on the model variation. I bought a AL390ST last fall to replace my regular 390 that got stolen...$650.
Its a winner.

They're heavy enough to eliminate most of the recoil, and they're handle even 3/4 oz loads effectively. As for a 12, I'd echo that its hard to beat an 1187, but I'd definitely look for 1995 or earlier vintage, though.
I have a Versa Max that my 13 year old daughter has been using. It has a short length of pull and shoots incredibly soft, and I'm 5 cases deep in it without a hiccup, thus far. I'd highly recommend em at this point.
My next puck in a 12 would be a lightly used al390.
Happy hunting.
